Episode 11

Steve and Robin- TODFTHR

"You really can't drive any faster?' Robin asked, annoyed.

"Hey, if it wasn't for me, we wouldn't know Max is in danger" Steve replied

"Actually, it's thanks to Dustin, without him forcing you to get one of those walkingtalking things, we wouldn't know" she said back

"It's a walkie talkie dumbass, not a-"

"ok no one cares, just drive faster" she cut him off

He bit back a grunt of frustration.

The car brakes squealed, and Steve parked in the very crowded hospital parking.

"Hurry up, she could be dead by now" Robin proclaimed.

Steve made an annoyed face, and winced. "Please, don't say that."

Robin looked down "Sorry." There was a long pause "But hurry up anyways!"

Party - Hospital room

"Took you long enough" Nancy whispered as they walked in.

Having the entire party in the same room was something that barely ever happened, if not ever.

"I'm sorry, but Stevie here probably has an excuse, because he clearly wasn't going as fast as he could" Robin teased

"I'm not trying to get a speeding ticket, besides-"

"No one cares!" Jonathan whispered

"Can the four of you shut up? El is trying to concentrate" Erica snapped

"Sorry" Robin whispered

"Ok, what's happening?" Steve whispered

"El is trying to find Vecna, and help Max get freed from him" Mike explained, while still whispering.

"Why are we whispering?" Steve started

The whole party shushed him, including Lucas, who had not spoken a word for a while.

"Do we know for sure it's Vecna, and not some sort of medical shit?" Dustin stated.

"No, I know it's him," Will replied, his hand on the back of his neck.

"and El does too" Lucas finally said.

Dustin nodded. They all fell silent, looking at Max's heavy breathing, and El's nose start to bleed.

Suddenly, she took her handkerchief off of her eyes.

"I found him"

"I'm sorry what??" Steve was confused

Nancy rolled her eyes. "Fill him in for the 10th time please while we actually do something" She sighed to Dustin.

"So, this is Max's body, but all her memories, and the actual Max is stuck with Vecna, as he is still in her head. Is that simple enough for you?"

Everyone was looking at Steve annoyed, while the hospital room's radio static was heard in the background.

"So, you're telling me that-"

"SHUT. UP. I can't focus with your yapping in the background!" El cut Steve off as she took her scarf off of her eyes.

Steve mouthed a 'sorry', and El took a deep breath.

We're going to need water, and a lot of salt.

"Oh I remember this part dude!" Argyle looked around. "Mind fight!"

Luckily, there was a bathroom in Max's hospital room, so all they had to do was find salt.

"The hospital food is always so salty! they must have thousands of pounds of salt?" Erica suggested.

"Great idea!" Robin and Nancy ran towards to the cafetieria.

"We need to be really efficient. We only have one shot at this" El stepped froward.

"What do you mean?" Lucas asked what everyone was wondering.

"If I fail this, we may never get Max back..."
